Method

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Prepare the Roasted rhubarb adding the halved strawberries after 15 mins of cooking. Cook, uncovered, for a further 5 mins until the rhubarb is tender and the strawberries slightly softened. Tip into a shallow dish, about 25 x 18 x 5cm, with enough of the syrupy juices to keep the fruit juicy. (Any leftover can be served with the crumble.)

While the fruits are roasting, prepare the crumble. Mix the flour, sugar and ground almonds, then add the butter and rub together to make coarse crumbs. Stir in the orange zest.

Spoon the crumble loosely over the fruit, then scatter with the pine nuts. Bake straight away for 25 mins until golden and bubbly. Cool a little before serving with custard and any remaining syrup.

Great recipe. The rhubarb and strawberry combination was a great surprise - I have requests for me to repeat this from non crumble lovers. Everyone should try this. I varied the crumble but who doesn't use their own crumble???

When I was young, my grandmother used to grow rhubarb in her yard, and she frequently made strawberry rhubarb pie. I think that except for the crumble part, this probably tastes somewhat similar. This has to go on my "to do" list.

Delish. I only eyeballed the amount of sugar on the rhubarb so it came out a bit tart, but that's actually a positive for me. The combo of the fruits is really lovely. I wasn't 100% taken with the crumble, but it may be because I had to use self-raising flour and there was a bit of that squeaky baking powdery aftertaste to it. Will definitely make it again with the proper flour and perhaps slightly less roasting time for the rhubarb.

I made this for the first time today using home grown rhubarb and local strawberries. Absolutely yummy! I will definitely make this again but will probably make more crumble topping. I served it with custard but my husband thinks we should have clotted cream next time!

This was really delicious. I'm not actually a big fan of rhubarb, but I thought this was lovely. The strawberries were a great addition. I didn't have any pine nuts but I did add a sprinkle of porridge oats because I love them in crumble topping. Yum.

Love this recipe. I always do it seasonally and pick the fruit from my garden. Also as a crumble fanatic, I always do a double amount of crumble, for the same cooking time and it always comes out perfick!

This is lovely (said in a Greg Wallace voice). Agree with FranticFlapjack about serving warm rather than hot - you do get better balance of flavours that way. I have also cooked the rhubarb and strawberry mix as a dessert in itself - gorgeous with custard, vanilla icecream or (sorry) evap milk!

Thanks for your question. You can freeze the crumble before or after cooking. Either way, preheat the oven as above and reheat or cook the defrosted crumble for about 20 - 25 mins until bubbling and golden. If you want to cook the crumble from frozen, you'll need to roughly double the cooking time. We haven't tested the recipe for exact timings so suggest you keep a close eye on the crumble as it bakes, once golden brown and bubbling, it's done. Hope that helps!
